DDR — Mon, 12 Jun 2006 10:01:41 +0000

Camlin Lonsdale Landscape Architects in Llangadfan held a midsummer barbecue this weekend for friends, clients and collaborators. The studio that we designed for Robert Camlin, and which he built, is weathering beautifully and merging with the edge of the farmyard site. Trees have grown and enveloped the building and filter the daylight into the interior. Photoset.
